You Link it, We Make It #2 – Fresh Strawberry Cupcakes

Hello and welcome to the You Link It, We Make It Link Party! This isn’t your average Recipe sharing link party – we’ve got a twist. Rather than us only sharing our recipes with you, we’ll be making, and reviewing, our favorite recipes from those linked up each week!

Here’s how it works

1. Link up your best recipes.

2. Each of our hosts will pick one recipe to make, review and share.

3. Also, we will also select an additional two features to be promoted and shared across our social media profiles. As a feature, you will also be invited to pin on our group Pinterest board!

Hi, I’m Kim, and I like to share my adventures in decorating, crafting and cooking, with a little bit of “real” life thrown-in. I’m inspired by things all around me. I love to incorporate those inspirations into my daily life and hope to inspire you in return!

I’m April, and I’m sharing my journey of fixing up our realtor described “uncookiecutter” house. I love to build furniture, crafts, home decor projects, recipes – really anything to do with the home. I love to try and recreate things in popular stores, with my own unique twist. Thanks for joining me on my journey!

Now onto the recipes and our features! We had so many fun and interesting recipe entries from last week that it was hard to choose – Thanks to everyone for linking-up. These were our six favorites!

This would be a perfect cupcake for summer, when strawberries were in season and full of flavor – I found it light, not too sweet, with a perfect crumb and texture. The bake times were right on – my oven runs a bit hot as an FYI.

The frosting was light and fluffy and had plenty of strawberry taste. There is a note to be sure to reduce the strawberry puree appropriately – be sure to do this or you’ll end up with a soupy mess. Don’t ask me how I know that! You’ll want it to reduce the puree to a jam consistency – 3 tablespoons.

The cupcakes were a huge hit, especially with my birthday girl! Happy Birthday, Meg, and thank you Don’t Sweat the Recipe for the idea!

3 months agoby knockitoffcrafterYes, those plates are pink! One of my favorite things to do during the holidays is to put together a fun and festive Christmas tablescape. This year it's all about modern vintage for me, with lots and lots of non-traditional Christmas color. I'm sharing all of my best DIY and repurposing ideas for the sparkliest of tables! Even better? Santa left y'all a gift! Even better than that? There are 26 OTHER tables to see as well! #christmastable#diy#pink#linkinprofile
